Hi all, ordered an all black bezel insert for my black and red GMTII. I got the bezel off a la some instructions I found on this forum. However I could not find the proper method of removing the insert from the bezel itself to make way for the new insert. What's the trick??

Thanks

Ron

Pop it off by applying pressure with your fingers. Don't be too agressive though, you could bend the insert.

Push the insert out from beneath... like this....

OK, got it with a little more force that time. Looks good in all black. Shitty aftermarket bezel insert though. eBay for $11 or something like it. Just wanted to try it out and see. I'll leave it and maybe these hacks at work will think I have yet another Rolex.... I'll tell them truthfully this time it's a fake!

Glad you got it! Keep your eyes open on eBay each week and you'll come across a genuine insert. Then you can trash that POS replica.
